The Past as Future:

Aborigines, Australia and the (dis)course of History

Bain Attwood In the context of the birth of the new nation, 'Australian history' only began with Europeans, and so not only ignored the Aboriginal past but also erased the indigenes' prior presence. British colonisation was legitimated by naturalising a relationship between Europeanswho by now were called Australiansand the land Australia, thus denying any relationship between those who had been the first to be called Australians and Australia. Aborigines were further consigned to the past but not to history by dint of becoming the subject of anthropology rather than history. Indeed, the Aborigines were valued by this new discipline because they were construed as artifacts of the human past. Just as European history constituted its object in a temporal sensethe modern, the present (and the future), the civilisedso too did European anthropology invent its objectthe traditional, the past, the savage. As Bruce Trigger has noted, 'the original differentiation between history and anthropology was product of colonialism and ethnocentrism'.

Aborigines fight for Australian land they say is theirs

May 16, 1997 Web posted at: 8:45 p.m. EDT (0045 GMT) SYDNEY, Australia (CNN) Aboriginal leaders are accusing the Australian government of declaring war by abolishing their claims to native lands. Native title laws, introduced by the previous government three years ago, became an urgent political issue after the High Court decided in December that land leased to farmers for generations could be liable to Aboriginal claim. Up to 78 percent of Australia's nearly 3 million square miles (7.7 million square km) could be affected by native title claims. In an attempt to resolve the dispute between farmers and Aborigines, Prime Minister John Howard produced a plan to guarantee farmers rights to land they have leased since European settlement began more than 200 years ago. With that, Howard "made an enemy of the Aboriginal people," said Northern Land Council Chairman Galarrwuy Yunupingu More than 100 Aboriginal leaders, representing 65,000 Aborigines in central and northern Australia, participated in a meeting Thursday in Timber Creek. They burned a copy of the 10-point plan by Howard's conservative government. "These points do not give Aboriginal people anywhere in this country their rights," Yunupingu said.

AustraliaGeneral InfoStatesCities ... Australia Inhabitants of Australia known originally as, Australian Aborigines, have the longest continuous cultural history in the world, with origins dating back to the last Ice age. If one sees the aspects of the Australian prehistory, it is known that the first visitor were from Indonesia about 70,000 years ago. These visitors are called 'Robust' by archaeologists because of their heavy-boned physique, were followed 20,000 years later by the more slender 'Gracile' people, the ancestors of Australian Aborigines. Europeans began to trespass on Australia in the 16th century: Dutch explorers followed Portuguese navigators and the enterprising English pirate William Dampier. Captain James Cook sailed the entire length of the eastern coast in 1770, stopping at Botany Bay on the way. After rounding Cape York, he claimed the continent for the British and named it New South Wales. European settlement of Australia began in 1788 when a British penal colony was established on the east coast. Captain Arthur Phillip, commanding eleven ships carrying 1,373 people, including 732 convicts successfully landed a full fleet at Botany Bay on January 18, 1788. Later they went to Sydney and settled there. Australia Day is now celebrated on 26 January each year, to commemorate this first fleet landing.

Developed and maintained by IIS Development ServicesWelcome The word koori is now well established in Australian English, but it continues to cause confusion and misunderstanding. Many Aborigines dislike the terms 'Aborigine' and 'Aboriginal' since these terms have been foisted on them, and they carry a lot of negative cultural baggage. Not surprisingly, they have looked for alternative words, and instead of `Aborigine' they prefer to use the word for a 'person' from a local language. In order to understand the history of the word koori we need to bear in mind the fact that when the Europeans arrived here there were about 250 languages spoken in Australia. Way back in the past, they were no doubt related, but most of them were as different from one another as English is different from Italian or Hindi. Some languages of south-east Australia (parts of New South Wales and Victoria) had a word - coorie kory kuri kooli koole - which meant 'person' or 'people'. In the 1960s, in the form koori , it came to be used by Aborigines of these areas to mean 'Aboriginal people' or 'Aboriginal person'. It was a means of identification. But because of the wide variety of Aboriginal languages and cultures

Mining by Aborigines - Australia's first miners

While 1997 was the bicentenary of mining in Australia by people of European descent, the history of mining in this country stretches back much further.

For more than 40 000 years before the arrival of the First Fleet in Sydney Harbour, Australian Aborigines had been mining the land for ochre and stone. While ochre and stone of one sort or another can be found almost anywhere in Australia, the ochre and stone deposits that were exploited by Aborigines were of particularly high quality. The higher the quality the larger the mining operation and the greater the distance over which the product was traded. Ochre from north western South Australia and from eastern Western Australia and stone axes from Mount Isa-Cloncurry were traded far outside these districts. At times many different clans would gather near a quarry site to trade for the stone or ochre and to hold ceremonies, initiations and other important cultural events.
